Mekong Delta: 130.000 ha In Ben Tre: 72.000 ha
Take 79% number of coconut In which >80% is dried coconuts
in Vietnam The average yield > 600 mil coconut per year.
Yield > 750 mil per year (From Vietnam News Agency)

- Productivity: 1000 kg/h.
- Electric motor 20 HP (supplied).
- Breaking stress of coconut: 1.25x106 N /m2 (from previous reports).
- Using screen ∅16.
- Input coconut: Dried coconut

To feed the machine the worker need at least 5 seconds per time.
=> The number of coconut must be put in one time: 0.58 x 5 = 2.9 ≈ 3 coconuts/
time.

The maximum length in the samples list is 19 cm.
=> Set the maximum length that the machine can hash is 20 cm
(+ 1 cm for safety).
MARKET SURVEY
Coconut hashing machine in
Coconut hashing machine in international
Vietnam
The machines have a good price, the output quality is not good.
Problems
The machines have a good output quality, the price is very high.
REQUIREMENT OF THE MACHINE

DESIGN THE PRINCIPLE
Transmission
Solutions
Gear transmission Chain transmission Belt transmission
Consider the criteria to choose transmission solution:
- Need to be popular and easy to use.
- Overloading phenomenon appears. Belt transmission
- Less of noise.
- Simple structure.

Mechanical
Power Supply
Solutions
Three phase electric motor Gasoline motor Diesel engine motor
The most utilization option is 3-phase electric motor.
Our customer donated for us a 3-phase electric motor with Three phase
power is 20 HP and it is suitable ( evidence in report). electric motor
DESIGN THE PRINCIPLE
The design has 3 main block: hammer mill mechanism, transmission mechanism, cover and
base. The block diagram also shows the basic shape and fuction of the machine

CONCLUSION
ACHIEVEMENTS
- Ideate the design of the machine from customer’s needs.
- Ability to apply and apply well the mechanical software to design, calculate, measure, test and simulate.
- Understand and manipulate the steps to design and calculate in mechanical field.
- Ability to analyze errors, calculate, check duration, stress of the design and update, fabricate it from feedbacks of building
team.
LIMITATIONS
- The update of feeder is still not good enough because it will limit the number of input coconut.
- The solution for blowing coconut dust is still left.
RECOMMENDATIONS
- No need to sort the input ( ability to cut all type of coconut even the green coconut without stuck)
- Add more mechanisms to optimize and upgrade the machine like CAM.
